Well, I know that several of you have been helping me with this. But yesterday I put a CD in the drive and after a few seconds it mounted and I had full access to all the files. So I tried this with several other discs in both drives and all seems to be fine.
Thanks for all the help, I have been learning loads over the past week. I'm glad I joined the group. Shame I can't get to the meeting and buy you all a beer. I'll just have to email you a picture of one, eill that do!!!
It's a very touching thought! However, you can do a bit better than that.
1. Buy a quantum computer.
2. Program it to send out a communication to the ALUG quantum computer instructing it to assemble the requisite numbers of molecules of Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon, Nitrogen, etc., together with sufficent numbers of spare electrons (they're the green things you used to see in old cathode ray tubes) and initiate the requisite quantum phenomena to constitute these into beer with the properties of such beer as you would have wished us to enjoy.
I'm sorry that it's enormously expensive to buy a quantum computer, but that's ALUG for you. If it's any consolation, you will find it much easier to program the above using Linux than using Windows.
Cheers! Ted.
